Abstract
A user interface displays visual representations of user interaction with a series of nodes in a defined pipeline. The pipeline includes several nodes in a defined order with a starting node and an ending node. Each of the nodes is represented by a symbol, such as a circle, with elements, such as arrows, showing the movement of users to and from the respective nodes. User movement to a node outside of the pipeline nodes may also be shown with arrows or other elements. In some implementations such as web analytics, the nodes may be webpages and the users may be viewers who browse from one page to the next. One illustrative pipeline may be a series of webpages that a viewer interacts with in order to complete an online purchase.
